I had the a/c keys in my hand the other day, God knows why, mind in neutral as normal. I was refuelling a Cessna, fuel hose over shoulder, nozzle in same hand as keys, nozzle in tank delivering fuel when keys slipped from hand.

You know when you make a putt and the ball doesn't quite make it into the cup but has a good look on it's way round? I just managed to grab the key fob as it entered the tank, fuel happily gushing all over the wing.

We live and learn.
